How it's done

Dough

Mix the flour, yeast and salt in a bowl. Add the milk and butter, knead quickly to form a soft dough. Flatten the dough a little, cover and chill for approx. 30 mins.

To laminate the dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle (approx. 1 cm thick), spread the butter over two-thirds of the dough. Fold the exposed dough over the top, place the folded dough over the remaining dough. Press out any air pockets using a rolling pin. Cover and chill for approx. 30 mins.

To fold the dough

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle (approx. 25 x 40 cm), then fold up one third of the dough and fold the other third down over the top. Cover the dough and chill for approx. 30 mins. Repeat this step three more times.

Croissants

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle (approx. 60 x 21 cm), cut into 6 triangles, roll up, cover and leave to rise for approx. 1 hr. Place the croissants on a baking tray lined with baking paper, brush with egg. Sprinkle with the seeds and salt.

To bake

Approx. 35 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 180°C. Remove from the oven, leave to cool completely on a rack.

Scrambled egg

Whisk the eggs, milk and water in a bowl, season. Add the spring onions. Heat a little clarified butter in a non-stick frying pan. Pour in the egg mixture. Using a spatula, push the eggs back and forth over a low heat until the mixture is just firm but still moist.

Croissant sandwiches

Cut the croissants in half crosswise, spread with cream cheese, top with the spinach and scrambled egg.
